Building Soils for Better Crops is a one–of–a–kind, practical guide to ecological soil management, now expanded and in full color. It provides step–by–step information on soil–improving practices as well as in–depth background—from what soil is to the importance of organic matter. Case studies of farmers from across the country provide inspiring examples of how soil—and whole farms—have been renewed through these techniques. This is a must–read for farmers, educators, and students alike.
